The global skincare market is expected to grow from $115.65 billion in 2024 to $194.05 billion by 2032. With that growth, skincare brands have a huge opportunity to expand their market share. Effective packaging is going to be especially crucial for cosmetic brands during this time of rapid growth. When dealing with small fragile products, the packaging needs to be able to protect items while also being cost-efficient and able to maintain its shelf appeal.
Let’s take a closer look at how one of our recent Pro customers found the ideal packaging solution for their skincare line.
The Challenge: Packaging Fragile Glass Products
An up-and-coming skincare brand reached out to Fantastapack looking for a solution for packaging challenges with their small glass bottles. Classic bulky packaging didn’t fit their brand’s aesthetic and brought increased shipping costs, while other offerings like paperboard didn’t provide the protection they needed.
Their goal was to create a high-end unboxing experience that matched the premium quality of their products, but finding packaging that balanced protection, style, and cost-effectiveness continued to be tricky. Since they love their standard Fantastapack mailer boxes, they came to Fantastapack to level up their unboxing experience by giving each of their bottled products their own, unique, protective boxes.
Discovering F-Flute: The Ideal Packaging Material and Customization
When this skincare brand heard about Fantastapack's F-Flute packaging, they were eager to test it out with a Reverse Tuck End box for their bottles. While F-Flute proved to be the perfect solution—lightweight and sturdy enough to provide the protection they needed; they also wanted to create a memorable unboxing experience, and the standard Reverse Tuck End box wasn’t cutting it.
That’s where Fantastapack Pro stepped in. Our design team crafted a custom cosmetic bottle box that was both sleek and protective. Paired with our premium print capabilities, the brand was able to achieve the high-end look they wanted while ensuring their products stayed safe and stood out.
Custom Features of the Finished Box
The Fantastapack Pro team collaborated closely with the brand to design a custom F-Flute box tailored to their product’s specific needs that the client would love. The skincare brand fell in love with the standout features that were integrated into the final design to solve their biggest packaging challenges:

Results: A Successful Packaging Transformation
The shift to F-Flute packaging was a resounding success! Not only did the boxes better protect their glass bottled products, but the high-end print quality and packaging design elevated their unboxing experience. Now they will be leaving a lasting impression on customers with their custom packaging.
The owner of the brand shared, “I absolutely love the new boxes. The finger cutout makes it super easy to open, and it’s also really easy and quick to fold.
I also wanted to mention how much I appreciate that the new boxes fit perfectly inside our mailers! I really appreciate that attention to detail and I’m excited for the boxes to be compatible.”
